The City Council held a work session to receive an overview of the police department's automated license plate reader (ALPR) program. Discussion topics included the program's purpose for law enforcement and investigations, the types of data collected, the hot list and custom hot list features, data retention policies, and prohibitions regarding the use of the technology for non-official purposes. The session served as an educational opportunity for council members to understand the program's mechanics, audit procedures, and departmental guidelines without taking formal action.
